Even official records were spelled however the names sounded to the recording clerks. My grandmother&#39;s mother died giving birth to twin boys. One of the babies died shortly after birth, the other twin died four days later. All three were buried in the same grave, yet I couldn&#39;t find their names in the KY vital records anywhere. I finally looked up the deaths on those particular dates and found a woman of the correct age and twin sons who died on the correct dates. The last name was spelled three different ways, and my great-grandmother&#39;s first name, Perlina, was written as Tina. I showed the records to my grandmother and she said said, &quot;Yes, Teeny was short for Perliney.&quot; Who would have known?Jennifer Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04919820550306740245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363417267053930444.post-37838874559896467272011-12-01T10:19:53.407-05:002011-12-01T10:19:53.407-05:00Well, Peggy, we&#39;re sure it wasn&#39;t YOU who ...Well, Peggy, we&#39;re sure it wasn&#39;t YOU who posted that information!
